More Than Toast
03:06

Is it efficient, or does it kill
With the skill of a cluster bomb?
It'll take time, but you know it will
If I happen to live that long
If you would listen to me
Things wouldn't seem so gloomy
Now you keep jamming up the gears
And I can't see through the smears
And everything's exactly as it appears
More, I love you more
I love you more than I did before
But now it's either or
Or neither nor
And when I think about you
I start turning green
And it shakes me up inside
'Cause it used to be the color of your eyes
Everywhere I go, I see your ghost
The spirit of '91
You said you loved me more than toast
But less than a staple gun
Is this the wrong direction?
That's such a stupid question
Yeah, when you make a sacrifice
You're supposed to get a wish
Why does this only work in theory, not practice?
More, I love you more
I love you more than I did before
But now it's not allowed
You're not around
I know you're going out
And everything goes black
And I start to fall apart
It reminds me of the color of your heart
Miss you more than mud
Lost you more than blood
Knead you more than dough
I love you more than toast
More, I love you more
I love you more than I did before
But now we're in a war
And what's it for?
I read your horoscope
And everything is clear
And it feels a little weird
'Cause it used to be the color of your tears

Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl
I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl surfer girl
We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my Woody I would take you everywhere I go
So I say from me to you
I will make your dreams come true
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl

Find My Place
01:06
|
|||
|
Gotta find my place in this world
Gotta find my place in this world
I want to be more than just a face in the crowd
I want to be proud of my time in this world
Feel like someone's taken my place in this world
I feel out of place every place
Too much time on my hands
And no one understands my demands
For changing this world
I got much faith in this world
I got so much riding on this
I keep working so hard, and it just breaks my heart
When it all seems to fall apart
At the seams
Gotta find my place in your heart
Gotta find my place in your mind
Gotta find the time to find the time
To find the life I left behind
Trying to find my place in this world
Find my place in this world
Find my place in this world

Not Alone Anymore
03:07
|
|||
|
You always said that I'd be back again
That I'd come running to you in the end
I thought that you were on your own
And now I find you're not alone
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more
You always said that I would know someday
Just how it feels when your love walks away
I let you down I let you go
I lost you, how was I to know
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more
I never knew I could feel this way
I never could see past yesterday
You feel that everything is gone
I feel it too, you're not alone
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more

Look into my eyes
You will see, what you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
When you find me there, you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
You can't tell me it's not worth dying for
You know it's true (you know it's true)
Everything I do
I do it for you
Yeah, yeah
Look in to your heart, you will find
There is nothing there to hide
Take me as I am, take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for
I can't help it, there's nothing I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you
You can't tell me it's not worth trying for
Just can't help it, there's nothing I want more
Oh, I would fight for you, yeah, I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you, yeah, I'd die for you
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do for you

Cheap Reward
01:02
|
|||
|
Oh, well, I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces
So be prepared to sweep me out the door
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
So I think I`ll get acquainted with the floor
Oh, I was trying to get away from the things that I always do
Hello, floorboards once again--how are you?
Lip Service--well, that`s all you`ll ever get from me
Well, how could you believe I`ll take you seriously?
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
Just remember you`ll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage

Good Good Things
02:19
|

|
I know a place up in the air
It's not very far, I've been there before
I know a place, cool and warm
Cooling my blood, warming my heart
So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man
I only want to know a couple of things about you
Where were you when I was in so much trouble with myself
And do you still believe in me like I believe
I've been thinking good good things about you
Cool and warm, good good things about you
If you've been thinking good good things about me
So cool and warm when you put your arms around me
On my own, I know where to go
Living the lie, in your eyes
I know a place, cool and warm
Cooling my blood, warming my heart
So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man
Let's see if I can get it right with you this time around
I'm not afraid of losing you my little girl
But do you still believe in me like I believe
I've been thinking good good things about you
Cool and warm, good good things about you
If you've been thinking good good things about me
So cool and warm when you put your arms around me

Don't Worry Baby
02:44
|
|||
|
Well it's been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says
"Don't worry baby" (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby) Uuh
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me want to drive
When she says
"Don't worry baby" (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby) Uuh
She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says
"Don't worry baby" (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright

Baltimore
02:25

I went to the bus station where you used to live
Looked to see if you were slumped up, sleeping in a chair
But it was just a cruel hoax
It was just a bad joke
'Cause it's been years since you've been there
Sat on the marbled floor and watched the people passing by
Heard the cars roar by outside
Waited for the stupid southbound bus to arrive
Without you, it was just mumbling bums
It was just drug-dealing scum
It was just another tired place that would've been paradise
If you had come
Now I'm back at where I started from again
Trying to drag out washed-up old friends
They still talk to same way
Nothing much has changed
Welcome back to the same sad old place
Wish you were here in all the secret hideaways
Without you, they're just not the same
It's a little sad alone, but I go to them anyway
Without you, my junkyards are wasteland
Waterfronts just cold sand
And all the secret spots are just lonely places
That only I understand
But now you're just another old memory
Another one of my boring stories
But I keep telling it again and again
And again and again and again

Tomorrow
02:46
|
|||
|
Now I try to sort out my scattered life
Lying awake on the floor
Staring at the ceiling light
Until I can see no more...
Maybe I'll feel different tomorrow
Maybe I never will
But tonight I'm alone in this world
My brain is busy but my soul's unfilled
Think of all my so called friends
Think of what they've done
Maybe I could go blind faster
Staring at the sun
Maybe I'll feel different tomorrow
Maybe I never will
But tonight I'm alone in this world
My brain is busy but my soul's unfilled
Lying awake with watering eyes
not quite sure what for
But when I leave this room tomorrow
My tears will be left lying on the floor...
